The Ondo State Security Network Agency, Amotekun Corps, has commenced its 5th batch recruitment exercise and released detailed guidelines for eligible applicants across the state.
In a statement signed by Muyideen Fabunmi on behalf of the Corps Commander, the agency said the new recruitment drive aligns with the state government’s commitment to strengthening security and protecting lives and property in Ondo State.
According to the Corps, the recruitment—tagged BR05—follows the mandate of the Amotekun Law established on March 4, 2020 and amended on July 13, 2022, empowering the outfit to gather intelligence, collaborate with similar agencies in the South-West, and support law enforcement efforts against kidnapping, terrorism, farm destruction, cultism, highway robbery and other criminal activities.
The agency said only indigènes of Ondo State or persons of Yoruba extraction who have lived in the state for at least 10 years are eligible to apply.
Applicants must provide proof of local government of origin, evidence of development levy payment for a minimum of three years, and a valid National Identity Card or voter’s card.
Candidates are also expected to have relevant paramilitary or security experience, or verifiable skills in local hunting, mechanical work, construction, electrical and electronics engineering, plumbing, welding, tailoring, ICT and related fields. Applicants must be “spiritually endowed,” not younger than 20 years, and present recent physical and mental fitness reports from a government hospital.
The Corps further stated that proof of good character endorsed by a Notary Public and the Chairman of the Local Government Traditional Council or a Justice of the Peace (JP) is mandatory.
Applicants must also show evidence of residence in any part of the state for at least 10 years, including a minimum of three years in their current community, with attestation from a Community Development Association member.
